In the morning we went on a nice boat ride all around Berlin, it was a 3 hour tour. My German had not come back enough that I understood much, but we all had a great time. The time went by fast. We got to see all different sorts of things. Nice parks, modern buildings, and a lot of historical buildings. we also crossed the point where the river was the old dividing line between east and west Berlin. It was interesting to see the bridge with the respective symbols on each tower of the bridge for the different halves of the city. we also saw the only bridge in Berlin that survived WWII. After we were done with the boat tour, we went through a great flea market and I got some great fabrics for dresses for me and the girls. One for me is yellow and black, very nice.
Afterwards we drove to Prague. we stopped at a truck stop for dinner and had silverware, glass plates with our schnitzel, kraut and sausage. I tried the curry wurst (a Berlin specialty). It was pretty good. You can also get curry ketchup in germany, I liked that as well. We got to Prague at 9pm or so. Carl got a ticket for driving on a restricted street. he paid a fine of 1,000 Czech crowns which equaled about $50. The cops showed him right where the ATM was to pay his fine, and gave him a receipt for 500 crowns.
